Wimbledon: the draw

Roger faces a truly tough challenge for the defense of his Wimbledon crown this year: he could meet Rafael Nadal in the quarter-finals, Andy Murray in the semis and then Novak Djokovic in the final.

Roger will open his quest for an eight title on Monaday against Victor Hanesecu of Romania (ATP 47), against whom he has won all five encounters so far. Sergiy Stakhovsky (ATP 117) or Rogerio Dutra Silva (ATP 102) could follow in round two.Fabio Fognini (ATP 30) and Nicolas Almagro (ATP 15) would then be possible opponents before an explosive quarter-final against Rafael Nadal - this year's no.5 seed.

I notice our champion Roger is very a positive person but clearly could be affected by negative vibes. weareas, Nadal is very a negative person but could not be affected by negative vibes easily. Roger needs positives to perform well.

Yeaaahhhh!!!! I am exciting for your match tomorrow. I can´t watch it but I will be cheering for you at work. I know is a difficult draw for you but you are able to beat everyone on grass. Best wishes for your first match!!! Regards from Peru.

Hey Champ, get to a terrific start tomorrow against Hanescu (like last year). Stay focused and steamroll your opponents all the way... I know some of your main rivals will try hard but remember this is your turf and you can beat them all...

It's hard draw but I believe it will be great battle!!! I can't wait to start of matches!!! Take care and enjoy it the most!!! I will be so nervous again like the last year!!! It will be huge!!! So good luck all the Wimbledon and stay hungry!!! GOO ROGER!!! GOO!!!
